Today I switched my blog from Blogger to WordPress. I was a tough decision, but it was better to do it now, then later, when my blog will have more content. This operation might have caused, as a side effect, the resetting of all the posts in the RSS feed, which in turn did show them as “unread” in the readers. They are not new though, so just mark them as read… and sorry for the mess! :)
After almost 1,5 year in FI I decided to take another path, and from the end of March 2008 I will be starting as a Flash Developer in a web & film production company B-Reel.
Work in FI was my best profesional experience so far, and I would recommend anyone who wants to learn how to create and deliver the highest quality to apply there. It is also a place where one can meet the most skilled developers around, and last but not least, they have a beautiful office here in Stockholm.
B-Reel is a company that specializes in online campaings that combines video, animation and interactivity.
The end od 2007 was a busy time for me at FI. I was working on a project for Porsche, part of their global campaing promoting a new model of Cayenne – the GTS. Together with the team in Fi we developed a site that revolves around the experience of engine sound in different Porsche models. The result of this effort is a minisite “Cayenne GTS, the bloodlines are unmistakable“, that was launched end Jan 2008. When you check out the campaing site, be sure to turn your speakers on!
This projects marks an important milestone for me. First of all FI received a “FWA Site of the day” award for it. I think is was our 25th overall, but for me personally it’s the first for a project that I worked on, so I was really happy.
I also happened to be my first AS3 project ever, and I was excited to discover that we finally have a full featured OOP language at our disposal. It was a huge boost of energy, after all these years of AS2 when there was almost nothing new to learn.
